AI Summary

This bill establishes a special commission to study the feasibility of creating a Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) program to compensate cities and towns with significant amounts of non-taxable property owned by the Commonwealth. The commission will consist of representatives from the state government, including the commissioner of the division of capital and asset management, as well as members of the state legislature and two residents from communities with large parcels of state-owned land. The purpose of the commission is to explore the potential for a PILOT program to offset the loss of tax revenue for municipalities with a high percentage of state-owned, non-taxable land.
